Final verdict after 1 week: Have just deleted the game after reaching the boss of Edith, and I stand corrected on my review above: this game is a dogshit attempt at a Souls-like. Late game enemies can straight up hyper armor their way through all your attacks even your specials and once again, Terrence being the most notorious example of this because of just how horrendously bad he is. You can dodge in and do a heavy, you can pace yourself and do a heavy, you can circle around and do a heavy, doesn't fucking matter, the enemy can just turn on a dime and smack you and you'd be staggered out of your attack.
